Hot on the heels of last week's story of an American aircraft spillage, the local press in Concord, New Hampshire has printed a wondrous tale of a knife-wielding intruder being outgunned by a man called Ernie. Ernie's only defence was a screwdriver and...a cup of coffee.

He hadn't the time to check if there was any coffee in it at the time...but the intruder soon found out that the answer to that question was yes! Which only goes to show that when it comes to the handling of coffee, you've got to be careful. The full story, via the Concord Monitor, is here: Ernie's Strike!
